Default Directions Advice

Guys,

Someone on here may know for sure.

I've got to go to Sweden with work for a week.
I've been told to fly into Copenhagen airport where I'll be picked up and driven to the destination
The destination is Rosenlundsgatan 54, 118 63 Stockholm

Now i'm being told its only about an hours drive.
Google maps suggest otherwise at nearly 7 hours

I don't trust the source that says its "approx 1 hour from the airport"

Errr, you are quite right not to trust the source!!

You need to fly into Stockholm Arlanda airport.
From there take the Arlanda Express train into Stockholm T Centralen which is the main train and Tbana (underground ) interchange.
It takes 30 mins and costs 220 SEK. Buy the ticket from the machine before getting on the train - 50SEK extra if purchased onboard. A taxi will cost you around 500SEK.
Rosenlundsgatan is on Sodermalm south of the centre and will take about 10/15 mins to get to by Tbana using Mariatorget station and then a short walk.
Stockholm is a great place, the locals are friendly and speak excellent english - puts my Swedish to shame!!!

Anymore questions, just ask

Oh, and have a Waynes Coffee for me

Just edited to add that there is a Rosenlundsgatan in Malmo which is where the confusion is arising from!

Whats the weather like in January - freezing I assume?

I won't get to see much of the place unfortunately
This place likes to work 13 - 14 hours per day

I have not been there in January - managed to avoid that
The locals tell me that the snow arrives early in the new year for a few months.
It will be cold outside but warm indoors so you will need to "layer up".
Also, have a waterproof/wind proof jacket, hat, gloves and a good pair of waterproof boots or wellies as it gets very wet underfoot.
HTH.

It does indeed - thank you very much.

Regarding the "source"

Is Rosenlundsgatan in Malmo then approx 1 hour from Copenhagen?

Looking at google maps, Rosenlundsgatan 54, 118 63 Stockholm does seem to be a 7 hour trip.

The Rosenlundsgatan in Malmo does seem, according to google maps to be about 37 mins by car, via the very funky tunnel between Denmark and Sweden.

Sundsgårdens Folkhögskola
Örbyvägen 10
SE-255 92 Helsingborg

He seems very confident that its approx 1 hour drive.

Ok, big change of plan then

Helsingborg is indeed closer to Copenhagen than Stockholm - plan A is valid after all!!

Going back to school then?
